We are like fragile jars of clay that contain an invaluable treasure -- the very light of Christ! Our humble state can be a gift because when people experience the light within us, that light will point to God rather than us. What a blessing to know that God might use our troubles to transform not only us, but others as well!

Job loses in a day what most of us lose over a lifetime, which is everything. We lose everything. Job remains rooted in God because he trusts God and humbly recognizes that he knows only a small part of his own story. Job's friends are a great comfort to him during this time, until they open their mouths!

Sermon #5 of Highrock's spring sermon series ("Deep: Moving Beyond Shallow Spirituality") from Psalm 23 (NIV)

Most of us expect the road of life to lead us to places of more freedom, more choices, and greater autonomy. Jesus paints a different life trajectory for Peter, and for us as well. Jesus' path was one of love, of laying down his life for others. When Jesus tells us to follow him, he intends for us to travel in the same direction.

Following the theme of Sunday's sermon, we turn to a passage that shows Job letting go of power and control. After hearing God's answer to his complaints, Job confesses that God is too big and too untameable for the limits of Job's understanding and desires. Might we also find peace in embracing our limits rather than grasping for control?

The disciples were so startled to see Jesus that they first thought he was a ghost! Jesus demonstrated that he was not a ghost and that he had indeed overcome death. Jesus' new life not only assures us about our future, it is meant to transform how we live now. Together, we are entrusted to share God's universal offer of forgiveness and new life!

After walking and talking and studying the scriptures for miles and hours, why is it only in the breaking of bread that Jesus' true identity is finally revealed? With no clear answer, believers have been left to wonder for centuries. Is there some way in which Jesus is especially present to us in that moment, especially when we celebrate communion together?

Jesus walks and talks with two distraught disciples who seem to have given up on the hope they had placed in Jesus. In our spiritual journeys, God can come to us in many ways that we do not recognize, at least initially. We also have the opportunity to walk with others during difficult times, perhaps even providing others the occasion to encounter Jesus afresh.

Sermon #4 of Highrock's spring sermon series ("Deep: Moving Beyond Shallow Spirituality") from Philippians 4:4-7, 11-13 (NIV)

When things don't go as planned, it's easy to assume that it's for the worse. But what if God has something better in mind? Faced with the women's testimony about the empty tomb, Peter is not ready to believe. Rather than run from what he doesn't understand, he runs to investigate and is left to wonder about the possibilities!
